INTRODUCTION. 



AS early as 1753 Preparations began to be made 
between Great Britain and France for a Struggle to 
gain a Predominance in North America. The 
Defeat of Major Wafhington by the French and Indians 
at Little Meadows, of the Britifh under Braddock at the 
Monongahela, of the French under Baron Diefkau at 
Fort George by the Provincials, the Capture of Ofwego 
by the French under Montcalm, the Defeat of Aber- 
crombie by the French at Ticonderoga, the Capture of 
Louifburgh by Amherft, were fome of the principal 
Events of the Campaigns of the four Years preceding the 
one undertaken by Major-General Amherft' in 1759. 

^ Jeffrey Amherst was dejccnded from an ancient Kcntijh Family, 
and born at Riverhead in England, 29th January, 171 7. He early 
devoted himjelf to the ProfejOTion of Arms, receiving an Enjign's Com- 
miJOlon when only fourteen Years of Age. At the Age of twenty-five he 
adled as Aid-de-camp to Lord Ligonier, in the Battles of Dettingen and 
Fontenoy, and afterwards Jervcd in the Staff of the Duke of Cumberland, 



vi IntroduEiion. 

Encouraged by the Acqulfition of Cape Breton and other 
Conquefts, the Colonies, on the AppHcation made to them 
through their Governours, by Mr. Pitt, prepared vigour- 
oufly for this Campaign ; and the vaft and bold Plan was 
formed of completing the Conqueft of Canada during 
this Year. Three Expeditions were accordingly planned 
to effed; this Objed; ; one under General Wolfe was to 
afcend the St. Lawrence and reduce Quebec ; another 

in thofe of Laffeld and Hajlenbcck, {Enc. Americana.) From that Date 
his Promotion was very rapid. In 1 756 we find him in Command of a 
Regiment of Foot; and in 1758 he received orders to return to England, 
being appointed to the American Service, with the Rank of Major-General. 
He Jailed from Portfmouth on the i6th of March, having the Command 
of the Troops dejlined for the Siege of Louijbourg, on the 26th of July 
following he captured that Place, and without farther Difficulty took entire 
PoJcjOlon of Cape Breton. After this Event he Jucceeded Abercrombie 
in the Command of the Army in North America, {Jllen.) The Capture 
of Fort Du Quefne, Niagara, Ticonderoga and Crown Point in due Time 
followed. General Amherjl, now feeing that the whole Continent of 
North America was reduced in Subjeflion to Great Britain, returned to 
New York, and was received with all the Rejped due to his public Ser- 
vices. The Thanks of the Houfe of Commons had already been trans- 
mitted to him ; and among other honourable Tejlimonies of Approbation, in 
1 76 1 he was created a Knight of the Bath, {Chalmers.) Although he 
had been appointed Commander-in-chief of all the forces in America, and 
Governor-General of the Britijh Provinces, he rejlgned his Command 
jhortly after the Conclusion of Peace between Great Britain and France, 
and returned to London in December, 1763, where Honours and Favours 
awaited him. In 1770 he became Governour of Guernjcy and its Depen- 
dencies, and two Years afterwards was j\vorn of the Privy Council. In 



Introdu&ion. vif 

under General Prideaux was to proceed againfl Niagara ; 
and a third under General Amherfl: was to march againft 
Ticonderoga and Crown Point ; and having accomplished 
their Conquefb, to rendezvous at Montreal. 

Having iiniihed the Preparations for the Expeditions 
againfl Quebec and Niagara, General Amherfl: transferred 
his Head Quarters from New York to Albany, where his 
troops were affembled by the lafl of May. Yet notwith- 
ftanding the continued Exertions of the General, the 

1776 he was advanced to the Dignity of the Peerage, when he took the 
Title of Baron Amherjl of Homefdale in the County of Kent; and in 
1787 received another patent as Baron Amherjl of Montreal, (Rofe.) 
From 1772 to 1782 he officiated as Commander-in-chief of the Englijh 
Forces, Jerving the latter Part of which Period he afled as eldejl General 
on the Staff of England. In 1782 he received the Golden Stick from the 
King, but on the Change of Adminijlration, ujually called that of Lord 
North, the Command of the Army and the Lieutenant-Generaljhip of 
Ordinance were put into other Hands. In 1793 he was again appointed 
to the Command of the Army; but in 1795 he was Juperjeded by the 
Duke of York, then in his 31JI Year, who had never Jeen any Service. 
The Government upon this Occajlon, with a View to soothe the Feelings of 
the old General, offered him an Earldom, and the Rank of Field-Marjhal, 
both of which he rejeded; but in the following Year accepted the Latter. 
He died 3d Augujl, 1797, in the 8ijl Year of his Age. Lord Amherjl 
was as a Man of a colleded and temperate Mind, without Brilliancy or 
Parade ; a Jlrifl Officer, yet the Soldier's Friend. He was twice married, 
but left no Ijjue, and was jucceeded in his Title and EJlates by his Nephew, 
the Son of the Brother whom he had employed in the Redudion of 
Newfoundland. 



viii IntroduEiion, 

Summer was far advanced before he could crofs Lake 
George, and he did not reach Ticonderoga until the 2 2d 
of July, although he experienced no Oppofition of any 
Confequence, from the Enemy, becaufe their Forces were 
too fmall to defend thatPoft, much lefs to attempt ulteriour 
Operations. The Forces under the immediate Command 
of this General exceeded twelve thoufand Men, the greater 
Part of which were Provincials, furnifhed by the Colonies 
of New York, and New England. On the Appearance 
of thefe Forces before the Lines at Ticonderoga, the 
Enemy, the very next Day, abandoned the Fort. This 
Step they were compelled to take, in Confequence of the 
Feeblenefs of the Garrifon, occafioned by the Withdrawal 
of the greater Part of the Troops to Canada, for the 
Purpofe of repelling the Invafion expelled on the Side of 
Quebec. The Plan of the Campaign on the Part of the 
French feems to have been to delay the invading Army 
as much as pofTible, by the Appearance of Defence, but 
not to hazard any confiderable Diminution of their 
Strength, by defending Places until they fhould be fo com- 
pletely invefted, as to render the Retreat of the Garrifon 
impradicable. The Hope feems to have been enter- 
tained, on their Part, not without Reafon, that by retreat- 
ing from Pofl to Poft, and making a Show in their 
enfeebled State, of intending to defend each, the Advance 
of the Anglo-American Army might be retarded until the 



IntrodtiEiion. ix 

Seafon for Adion on the Lakes fhould pafs away, while 
their Force would gradually be fo concentrated as to 
enable them to maintain fome Point which would arrefh 
the Progrefs of the Army under Amherft, down the St. 
Lawrence to Quebec. {Macauley, Hiji. N. T.) In pur- 
fuance of this Plan, on the 26th July, 1759, the Day after 
the Redudion of Niagara, Ticonderoga furrendered, and 
thus paved the Way for the Subjedion of Canada. 
{Chalmers.) The Garrifon which evacuated Ticonderoga 
retired to Crown Point, and General Amherft, having 
:taken Pofleffion of this Poft, which covered the Frontiers 
of New York on this Side, ordered the Works to be 
repaired, and allotted a ftrong Garrifon for its Defence. 
The Acquilition, however, was not obtained without fome 
Lofs ; among others. Colonel Townlhend was killed by a 
cannon Shot, while reconnoitering the Works. [See p. yj.) 
While Amherft was employed in the Repairs of Ticonde- 
roga, he received Intelligence about the firfl of Auguft, 
that the Enemy had abandoned Crown Point. He im- 
mediately detached a Body of Troops to take PofTeffion of 
the Place, and on the 4th of the fame Month, proceeded 
with the main Army, and landed and encamped at the 
fame Place. Here he learned that the Enemy had retired 
to the Ille aux Noix, at the other End of Lake Champlain, 
five Leagues fouth of St. Johns ; and that their Force, 
encamped at that place, under the Command of M. de 



X IntroduEiion, 

Burlemaque, amounted to three thoufand five hundred 
effective Men, and that the Lake was occupied by four 
VefTels, mounted with Cannon, and manned with Piquets of 
different Regiments, under the Command and Direction of 
M.le Bras, a Captain of the French Navy, aflifted by M. de 
Rigal, and other fea Officers. In Confequence of this In- 
formation, General Amherft caufed feveral Veffels of War 
to be conftructed, under the Superintendence of Captain 
Loring, in order that he might obtain the Command of the 
Lake. Thefe being completed and equipped, the General 
embarked with the whole Army in Batteaux, on the 
eleventh of October, and proceeded down the Lake fome 
Diftance, but owing to the Tempefts which enfued, was 
obliged to return again to Crown Point, and give over the 
Defign of penetrating into Canada for the Prefent. In the 
mean Time, he put his Army into winter Quarters, and 
jftrengthened the Works at Crown Point. He alfo caufed 
a Road to be opened from Ticonderoga to Maffachufetts 
and New Hampfhire, to the End that Communications 
might be had with thofe Provinces by more dired: Routes, 
than by the Way of the Hudfon and Albany. Captain 
Loring however, went down the Lake and fell in with the 
French naval Force, which he defeated and deftroyed, 
whereby the Command of its Waters came into the Hands 
of the Invaders. {Macauley s Hiji. N. Tj ///, 42.) 

Thus terminated the memorable Campaign of 1759, 



IntrodtiBion, xi 

alike creditable to the military Abilities of General Am- 
herft, and advantageous to the Britifh Colonies, which 
had been fo long haralTed by the Incuriions of the French 
and Indians of Canada. It will be obferved that to the 
provincial Troops employed in this Expedition is to be 
attributed a greater Share of Renown than is ufually 
awarded to them. By their Zeal, Difcipline and native 
Energy, they contributed in no fmall Degree to the Succefs 
of the Campaign. Among their Officers will be found 
not a few who were trained here for the lading Fame 
which they acquired in the War of the Revolution. The 
Notes which accompany the Text, gathered from every 
available Source, although they ferve to refcue their 
Memory, leave us to regret that of fome of them fo little 
fhould be known.

paign, Gen. Peppercll obferves: "No 
Perfon in the Army could poflibly have

On the 5th of September, 1745, he 
received a Commiflion of Captain in a 
Regular Regiment, called Sir William

additional Reward for his Services, was 
appointed, on the 1 6th September, 1746, 
to the fmecure Place of Lieutenant- 
Governor of St. John, Newfoundland 
(London Mag., XV, 480 ; Gendeman's

in Garrifon at Louifburg with his Regi- 
ment until 1748, in which Year it was 
difbanded. On the Renewal of HoftiH- 
ties in 1755, he was ordered by General 
Braddock to march with a Party of 
Provincials to Ofwego, preliminary to 
Operations againft Niagara; and when 
Shirley fucceeded to the Command, he 
made Bradftreet his Adjutant-General 
(i Mafs. Hift. Coll., VII, 96, 116). 
In the following Year he was again or- 
dered to conduft Supplies to Ofwego. 
On his Return, after having fuccefsfuUy 
perf irmed that Duty, he was attacked on 
the 3d July, nine Miles fouth of that 
Place, by a ftrong Party of the Enemy, 
which he defeated (N. Y. Doc. Hift., 
8vo, I, 482-487). In March, 1757, 
he was appointed to a Company in the 
60th or Royal Americans, and became 
Lieutenant-Colonel in the Regular Army 
on the 27th December following, at 
which Time he was Deputy (^uarter- 
Mafter-General (Army Lift). Heferved 
in 1758, under Abercrombie, in the 
unfuccefsful Attack againft Ticonderoga, 
immediately after which he was per- 
mitted to March at the Head of 3000 
Provincials, againft Fort Frontenac, 
which he reduced on the 27 th Auguft 
(Dunlap's Hiftory New York, I, 394; 
Knox's Campaigns, I, 150). The De- 



tails of this Achievement were publifhed 
the following Year under this Tide :

Colonel Bradftreet's Expedition to Fort 
Frontenac ; to which are added a few 
Refleftions on the Conduft of that En- 
terprife, and the Advantages refulting

In 1759 he accompanied Gen. Amherft 
as Ouartermafter-General in the Ex- 
pedition againft Ticonderoga and Crown 
Point, and had his Head Quarters the 
following Year at Ofwego, where the 
Neceflaries were provided to facilitate 
the Dcfcent of the Army to Montreal; 
but ill Health prevented him accompany- 
ing the Troops. In February, 1762, 
he was promoted to be Colonel, and 
continued Quarter-Mafter-General for 
a few Years after (Army Lifts). In 
1764 he commanded an Expedition 
againft the Weftern Indians, and nego- 
tiated a Peace with thefe Tribes at Detroit 
on the 7th September of that Year, after 
which he returned to theEaft (Parkman's 
Pontiac). On the 25th May, 1772, he 
was advanced to the Rank of Major-

1 Allan Maclean, of Torlifh, Scot- 
land, was, in 1747, Lieutenant in the 
Scotch Brigade, which alfo went by the 
Name of" the Dutch Brigade," from the 
Circumftance of its being at the Time 
in the Pay of the States-General. In 
cutting his Way through the French 
Lines at the famous Siege of Bergen-op- 
Zoom, Lieutenant Maclean was taken 
Prifoner, and immediately admitted to 
Parole by General Lowendahl, with 
this complimentary Addrefs : " Had all 
conducted themfclves as you and your 
brave Corps have done, I fhould not 
now be Mafter of Bergen-op-Zoom." 
Having left the Dutch Service, he ob- 
tained a Company in the 62d, or Firft 
Highland Battalion, on its Organization 
in 1757. With this Regiment, whofe 
Number was afterwards changed to the 
77th, he came to America, and ferved 
under Forbes, at the taking of Fort du 
Quefne, in 1758, and in the following 
Year was with Amherft. He raifed the 
114th Highland Regiment in 1759, of 
which he was appointed Major com- 
manding, but it was reduced in 1763, 
when Major Maclean went on half pay. 
On 25th May, 1771, he became Lieut. 
Colonel in the Army, but was not again 
called into adlive Service until 1775, 

lAm:\ 3 



when he was fent to embody a Corps of 
Loyalifts in America, to fupport the 
Royal Caufe. With his Warrant and 
fome Followers, Colonel Maclean came 
to New York in the Spring of 1775 ; 
next vifited Bofton, where his Scheme 
got Wind ; then haftened back to New 
York, repaired to Col. Guy Johnfon on 
the Mohawk River, and thence proceed- 
ed to Ofwego, and fo to Canada, where 
he collefted, in the Courfe of the Sum- 
mer, a Body of Men, chiefly Scotch 
Refugees and difbanded Soldiers, for- 
merly belonging to the 42d, 77th, and 
78th Highlanders, under the Title of the 
Royal Highland Emigrants. On the 
Approach of the American Army by 
Lake Champlain, Colonel Maclean was 
ordered to St. Johns with a Party of Mili- 
tia, but got only as far as St. Denis, when 
he was dcferted by his Men. Quebec 
being next threatened by the American 
Army under Arnold, Colonel Maclean 
made the beft of his Way to that City, 
which he entered on the 1 2th November, 
1775, juft in Time to prevent the Citi- 
zens furrendering the Place to the x-^me- 
ricans. His Conduft during the Siege 
is mentioned in the handfomeft Terms. 
But after all his Zeal, his Corps was not 
yet recognized, though he had at the 
Outfet been promifed Eftablifhment and 
Rank for it. He therefore returned to 
England, where he arrived on the ift

1 Thomas Gage was the fecond Son 
of the I ft, and Father of the 3d, Vifcount 
Gage of Caftlcbar, in the County of 
Mayo, Ireland. In 1755 he accom- 
panied the Expedition under General 
Braddock, againft Fort Duquefne, as 
Lieutenant-Colonel of the 44th Regi- 
ment, and commanded the Vanguard in 
the fatal Engagement of the 9th July, 
when he was flightly Wounded. After 
the Batde he carried the General off the 
Field (Entick,1, 146). In May, 1758, 
he was appointed Colonel of the 80th 
Regiment, and Brig. General (Knox's 
Journal, I, 212), and on the 8th De- 
cember following married Margaret, 
daughter of Peter Kemble, Efq., Prefi- 
dent of the Council of New Jerfey 
(Debrett). In 1759 he accompanied 
the Expedition under General Amherft, 
and led the 2d Column againft Fort 
Ticonderoga, which, however, had been 
abandoned by the French before the 
Arrival of the Englifh Troops. On 
learning the Death of General Prideaux, 
General Amherft difpatched Brigadier 
Gage on the 28th July to take Command 
of that Divifion of the Army, but Fort 
Niagara had already been reduced by 
Sir William Johnfon (Knox, I, 403; 
Entick, IV, 137). On the nth July, 
of the following Year, he departed from 
Ofwego with the Army to Montreal, of 
which city he was appointed Governor, 
after its Capitulation. He was promoted 
in May, 1761, to the Rank of Major- 
General, and in March following became 



Colonel of the 2 2d Regiment of Foot. 
At the Departure of General Amherft 
for England in 1763, Major-General 
Gage fucceeded him as Commander-in- 
Chief of his Majefty's Forces in North 
America. He rofe to be Lieutenant- 
General in 1770, and reftded in New 
York until May, 1774, when he re- 
moved to Bofton, on being appointed 
Governor of MafTachufetts. He was 
a fuitable Inftrument for executing the 
Purpofes of a tyrannical Miniftry and 
Parliament. Several Regiments foon 
followed him, and he began to repair 
the Fortifications upon Bofton Neck. 
The Powder in the Arfenal in Charles- 
town was fcized ; detachments were fent 
out to take pofTcffion of the Stores in 
Salem and Concord and the Battle of 
Lexington became the Signal of War. 
In May, 1775, the Provincial Congrefs 
declared Gage to be an inveterate Enemy 
of the Country, difqualified from ferving 
the Colony as Governor and unworthy 
of obedience. From this time the exer- 
cife of his fundlions was confined to 
Bofton. In June he iffued a Proclama- 
tion, offering Pardon to all the Rebels 
excepting Samuel Adams and John 
Hancock, and proclaimed Martial Law ; 
but the affair of Breed's Hill, a few days 
afterwards, proved to him that he had 
miftaken the charafter of the Americans. 
In Oftober he embarked for England, 
and was fucceeded in the Command by 
Sir William Howe. His condud; to-

1 Israel Putnam was born in Salem, 
Maflachufetts, January 7th, 171 8. In 
1739 he removed to Pomfret, Conn. 
In 1755 he was appointed Lieutenant of 
the 6th Company of the 3d Connedlicut 
Regiment, and was afterwards promoted 
to be Captain. He rendered much Ser- 
vice to the Army in the neighborhood 
of Crown Point, as may be feen by the 
Reports of his fcouting Parties in New 
York Doc. Hift. IV. In 1756, while 
near Ticonderoga, he was repeatedly in 
the mofl: imminent Danger. He efcaped 
in an Adventure one Night with twelve 
bullet Holes in his Blanket. In 1757, 
the Legiflature of Connedicut conferred 
the Commiffion of Major on Putnam, 
who ferved that Year under Gen. Webb 
at Fort Edward, and was attached to the 
Army under Abercrombie in 1758. In 
Auguft of that Year he was fent out with 
feveral hundred Men to watch the Mo- 



tions of the Enemy. Being ambufcaded 
by a Party of equal Numbers, a general 
but irregular Aftion took Place. He had 
difcharged his Fulee feveral Times, but at 
length it miffed Fire while its Muzzle 
was prefented to the Breaft of a Savage, 
who, with his lifted Hatchet and a tre- 
mendous War-whoop, compelled him to 
Surrender, and then bound him to a Tree. 
At Night he was ftript, and a Fire kindled 
to Roaft him alive ; but a French Officer 
faved him. The next Day he arrived at 
Ticonderoga, and thence he was carried 
a Prifoner to Montreal. He was foon 
after exchanged through the ingenuity of 
his fellow Prifoner, Colonel Schuyler, 
and joined the xA.rmy under Amherft, as 
Lieutenant-Colonel in the 4th Connedti- 
cut Regiment. In 1 760 he accompanied 
the Army from Ofwego to Montreal. 
In 1762, commanded his Regiment in 
the Attack gn Havana. In 1 763 he rofe

For the Day to-morrow, Colo. Grant ; Field Officers 



to the Rank o Colonel, and accompa- 
nied an Expedition againll the Wellern 
Indians, after which he returned to his 
Farm. In 1770, he went to the Miffis- 
fippi River to feledl fome Lands, but re- 
turned foon after, and was ploughing in 
his Field in 1 7 7 5 , when he heard the News 
of the Battle of Lexington. He imme- 
diately unyoked his Team, left his Plow 
on the Spot, and without changing his 
Clothes fet off for Cambridge. In the 
Battle of Bunker's Hill he exhibited his 
ufual Intrepidity. When the Army was 
organized by Gen. Wafliington at Cam- 
bridge, Putnam, who had been elefted 
Major-General in June, 1775, was ap- 
pointed to command the Referve. In 
Auguft, 1776, he w-is ftationed at 
Brooklyn, on Long Ifland. After the 
Defeat of our xA.rmy he went to New 
York and was very fcrviceable in the 
City and Neighborhood. In October or 
November he was fent to Philadelphia 

[y/w.] 9 



to fortify that City ; in January, 1777, 
was direfted to take Poft at Princeton, 
where he continued undl the following 
Spring, when he was appointed to the 
Command of a feparate Army in the 
Highlands of New York, After the 
Lofs of Fort Montgomery, the Com- 
mander-in-Chief determined to build 
another Fordficadon, and he direfted 
Putnam to fix upon the Site. To him 
belongs the Praife of having chofen Well: 
Point. The Campaign of 1779, which 
was principally fpent in ftrcngthening 
the Works at this Place, finifhed the 
military Career of Putnam. A paralydc 
Afi^eftion impaired the Activity of his 
Body, and he paffed the Remainder of 
his Days in Rcdrement, retaining his re- 
lifh for Enjoyment, his ftrength of Me- 
mory, and all the Faculdcs of his Mind. 
He died at Brooklyn, Conn., May 29, 
"1790, aged 72.

1 John Goffe was born in 1 701, 
probably in Boflon and fettled at the 
Mouth of the Cohos Brook, about three 
miles below the City of Manchelkr, 
N. H., at what is called Moor's Village, 
and in early Life was dcfignated as 
"Hunter John." He moved fubfequently 
to Bedford, Hillfboro County, where 
he built fome Mills, and in 1746 was 
Captain of a Company of Militia and 
did Duty on the Frontier. He was 
elected Moderator in 1750, and in 1755 
commanded one of the Companies ot the 
New Hampfhire Regiment fcnt to rein- 
force General Johnfon at Lake George. 
On the Projeft of an Expedition againll 
Crown Point in 1757, New Hampfliire 
raifed a Regt. part of which under Lieut. 
Col. GofFe rendezvoufed at Charlertown 
on the Connecticut River, thence marched 
to Albany and afterwards were fent to 
Fort William Henry to reinforce Col. 
Munro. In the fubfequent Mafiacre 80 
of GofFe's Men were either killed or 
taken by the Lidians. In Amherft's 
Campaign he was Second to Colonel 
Lovewcll, and in 1760 commanded 
800 Provincials raifed alfo in New 
Hampfhire, who inftead of rendezvous- 
ing at Albany cut a Road through the 
Woods from Charleftown to Crown 
Point, and proceeded down Lake Cham- 
plain under Colonel Haviland, with 
whom they entered Montreal. As a 
fpecimen of the military Drefs and Dis- 
cipline of the Time, the following Order 
is inferted. It is copied from Adjutant 



Hobart's record, and is dated Litch- 
field, May 25, 1760. " Colonel GofFe 
requires the Officers to be anfwerable 
that the Men's Shirts arc changed twice 
every Week at Icaft ; that fuch as have 
Hair that will admit of it muft have it 
conftantly tyed ; they mufl be obliged 
to comb their Heads and wafh their 
Hands every Morning, and as it is ob- 
ferved that numbers of Men accuflom 
themfelves to wear woollen Nightcaps in 
the day Time, he allows them Hats ; 
they are ordered for the Future not to 
be feen in the day Time with any thing 
befides their Hats on their Heads, as 
the above mentioned Cuftom of wearing 
Nightcaps muft be detrimental to their 
Health and Cleanlinefs ; the men's Hats 
to be all cocked, or cut uniformly as 
Colonel GofFe plcafes to direct" (Fox's 
Hift. of Dunftablc, 162). In 1768, he 
was Colonel of the 9th New Hampfhire 
Regiment, and was one of the Patentees 
of Amherft and reprefented that Town 
and Bedford, which were clafFed to- 
gether, from 1767 to 1775. From 
1 77 1 to 1776, he was Judge of Probate, 
and when the Revolution broke out, 
warmly fided with his Country. He 
died October 20, 1781, and has left 
hia Name to GofFcftown, N. H. His 
Son, Major John GofFe, fervcd in the 
War of Independence (Belknap, III,

deep on all Services ; this makes no alteration in the Poll- 
ing of Officers, or the telling off the Battalions in Grand 
Divifions, Sub Divilions and Platoons, or in the Front 
and Flank, and Rear and Flank Platoons. When a Bat" 
is told off in Platoons on the Parade, the whole Batt" is 
to be three deep, the two centre Platoons clofe, and an 
Interval! of half the Front of a Platoon left between each 
Platoon from the one on the Right of the Centre to the 
Platoon on the Right of the Batt" ; the fame is to be ob- 
ferved from the Platoon on the Left of the Centre to the 
Platoon on the Left of the Batt". The Commanding 
Officer will then order the Officers commanding Platoons 
to form them two deep, which they will do by deviding 
the rear Rank, thofe on the Right of the Colours, facing 
to the Right, and thofe on the Left facing to the Left, 
and halting when in the Litervalls the firfl half forms on 
the Right of the front Rank, of each Platoon on the Right

of the Colours ; the fecond Half forms in the like Manner 
on the Right and Left of the 2d Rank. If there is an 
odd Man the Officer takes what Man he chufes as his 
Second. This Method is always to be pradlifed, that every 
Officer commanding a Platoon may have the Men of the 
third Rank oppolite to him, that in cafe the Service re- 
quire it, the whole Batt" could be formed three deep in an 
inftant, by the Officers of the Platoons forming the rear 
Rank as they were, which is never to be done unlefs the 
Officer commanding the Batt^ orders it. The Men to be 
acquainted that this is ordered, as the Enemy has very few 
regular Troops to oppofe us; and that no yelling of Indians 
or fire of Canadians can poffibly brake their Rank, if the 
Men are filent, attentive and obedient to their Officers, 
who will led them to the Enemy, and their Silence will 
terrific the Enemy more then any Huzzeaing or Noife they 
can make ; which the Generall abfolutely forbids, and their 
attention and obedience to the Officers who command 
Platoons will enfure Succefs to his Majeftys Arms. The 
Gen' Court Martial, of which Collo. Ruggles was Prefi- 
dent, is defolved. The Gen' has approved of the Sentence 
of the above Gen' Court Martial. George Dougherty of 
the Innifkilling Regiment, accufed of Sufpicion of braking 
open a Trunk, is judged not guilty of the Crime laid to 
his Charge, and therefore aquited. Will'" Harper, Soldier 
in Gen' Gages Light Infantry, accufed of Thieft, is found 
Guilty of the Crime laid to his Charge, and is to receive 
400 Lafhes with a Catt-and-nine-tails. John Cotter,

Order for a confiderablc Tradl of Land 
at that Place, for which a Patent was 
granted, March, 1765, and it was 
formed into a Townlhip under the

failed in the beginning of 1777 for 
England (4 x'\merican Archives, VI, 
601, 662; 5 American Archives, II,

April, 1775, he mounted his Horfe and 
was proceeding to Beverly, where he had 
a Farm, to fuperintcnd the Spring Work. 
While on his Way the uprifing of the 
Country led him to fear for his perfonal 
Safety and he turned his Horfe's Head 
towards Bofton, where he propofed 
remaining only a few Days. He was 
caught by Gage's Proclamadon in a Trap 
and was too far compromiled to return 
amongft his old Neigbors. He fubfe- 
quently accompanied the Royal x^rmy to 
Halifax. Though offered a Commiffion 



by General Howe, he refufed, faying 
" he fhould never Fight againfl his Coun- 
try." He was afterwards CommifTary 
to the Brinfh Troops at New York, and 
in 1778 was profcribcd and his Property 
confifcated. In July, 1783, he was one 
of the 55 Petitioners in the City of New 
York to General Carleton, for Lands in 
Nova Scotia. He fetded in New Brunf- 
wick and called the Town Lancafler, 
after his native Place in MafTachufetts. 
He was a Member of the Provincial 
Council and died at Lancafler, N. B., in 
May, 1789, aged (>-] Years. His Eltate 
MafTachufetts has been redeemed by his 
Family and now belongs to his only fur- 
viving Daughter and Child, Mrs. Anna 
Goodhue, Widow of the Hon. Benjamin 
Ooodhue of Salem (Letter of Jofeph

1 John Small was born in 1726, in 
Strathardle, Athole, Scotland, and ferved 
originally in the Scotch Brigade, then in 
the Dutch Service ; received a Commis- 
lion as Enfign in the 4zd Highlanders, 
Augull 29, 1747, in which Year he 
command a Party ftationed at Glenelg 
that was employed hunting the Rebels 
through the Highlands. The Company 
to which he belonged having been re- 
duced in 1748, he went on Half-pay, 
but was again called into aftive Service 
in 1756, when he was appointed Lieu- 
tenant in his old Regiment on the eve of 
its Departure for America, to join the 
Expedition under Lord Loudon. In 
1758, the Regiment ferved under Gen. 
Abercromby againft Ticonderoga, and 
Lieut. Small accompanied the Expedition 
under Amherft the following Year to 
the fame Part of the Country, and in 
1760 went down from Ofwego to Mon- 
treal ; he ferved in the Well Lidies in 
1762, and on the 6th of Auguil of that 
Year was promoted to a Company. The 
fccond Battahon then returned to Scot- 
land, and was reduced in 1763, and 
Captain Small went on Half-pay, where 
he remained until April, 1765, when 
he was appointed to a Company in the 
2 1 ft or Royal North Britilh Fuzileers 
which came foon after to America. He 
continued with this Regiment until 1775, 
when he received a commiOion to raife 
a Corps of Highlanders in Nova Scotia 
in aid of the Crown. No Chief of 
former Days ever more firmly fecured 
the Attachment of his Clan, and no 
Chief, certainly, ever defervcd it better. 
With an enthufiaftic and almoft roman- 



tic Love of his Country and Country- 
men, it feemed as if the principal ob- 
ject of his life had been to fcrve them, 
and promote their Profperity. Equally 
brave in leading them in the Field, and 
kind, juft, and conciliating in Quarters, 
they would have indeed been ungratehil, 
if they had regarded him otherwife than 
as they did. There was not an inilance 
of Defertion in this Battalion. He was 
appointed Major, commanding the 2d 
Battalion of the 84th Royal Emigrants, 
with a Portion of which he joined the 
Army under Sir Henry Clinton at 
New York in 1779, and in 1780 was 
appointed Lieutenant Colonel of his Re- 
giment. The Grenadier Company was 
at the Batde of Eutaw Springs. In 1782 
he was quartered on Long Ifland and in 
1783 the Regiment was difbanded. The 
Men who were Americans, and had 
enlifted while the 84th was ftationed on 
Long Ifland, emigrated to Nova Scotia, 
where they fettled the prefent Town of 
Douglafs. Lieutenant-Colonel Small be- 
came a Colonel in the Army on the i 8th 
November, 1790, and was appointed 
Lieutenant-Governor oi Guernfey in 
1 793 ; he was promoted to the Rank of 
Major-General 3d Oftober, 1794, and 
died at Guernfey on 1 7th March, 1 796, 
in the 70th Year of his age (Gende-

1 Jonathan Carver, the well known 
enterprifing traveler, was a Native, it is 
believed, of Canterbury, Ct., and was 
born in 1732. He loft his Father (who 
was a Juftice of the Peace) when he was 
only five Years of Age. He was intended 
for the profeffion of Medicine, which 
he quitted for a Military Life. He 
ferved with Reputation in the Expedition 
carried on acrofs the Lakes againft 
Canada. After the Peace he formed 
the refolution of Exploring the moft in- 
terior Parts of North America, and of 
even penetrating to the Pacific Ocean, 
over that broad Part of the Continent 
which Hes between the forty-third and 
the forty-fixth degrees of North Latitude. 
As the Enghfli had come in pofTelTion 
of a vaft Territory by the Conqucft of 
Canada, he wiihed to render this Acqui- 
fition profitable to his Country, while he 
gratified his Tafte for Adventures. He 
believed that the French had intentionally 
kept other Nations ignorant of the inte- 
rior Parts of North America. He hoped 
to facilitate the difcovery of a North- 
weft PafTage, or of a Communication 
between the Hudfon's Bay and the Pacific 
Ocean. If he could effect the eftablifh- 
ment of aPofton the Straits of Annian,he 



fuppofed he fhould thus open a Channel 
for conveying Intelligence to China and 
the Englifh Setdements in the Eaft Indies 
with greater expedition than by a tedious 
Voyage by the Cape of Good Hope or 
the Straits of Magellan. With thefe 
Views he fet out from Bofton in 1766, 
and in September of that Year arrived at 
Michillimakinac, the moft interior Eng- 
lifli PolL He applied to Major Rogers, 
the Governor, to flirnifh him with a pro- 
per AfTortment of Goods, as a Prefent 
for the Indians living in the Track which 
he intended to purfue. Receiving a Sup- 
ply in part, it was promifed that the 
remainder fhould be fent to him when 
he reached the Falls of St. Anthony in 
the River Mifiilfippi. In confcquence 
of the failure of the Goods, he found it 
necefTary to return to Prairie la Chien 
in the Spring of 1767. Being thus re- 
tarded in his Progrefs weftward, he 
determined to dircft his Courfe north- 
ward, that by finding a communication 
between the MifTiffippi and Lake Supe- 
rior, he might meet the Traders at the 
grand Portage at the northwcft Side of 
the Lake. Of them he intended to 
Purchafe the Goods which he needed, 
and then to purfue his Journey by the

fore the Traders had returned to Michil- 
limakinac, but they could not furnifli 
him with Goods. Thus difappointed a 
fecond Time, he continued fome Months 
on the North and Eaft Borders of Lake 
Superior, exploring the Bays and Rivers 
which empty themfelves into that large 
Body of Water, and carefully obfcrving 
the natural Produftions of the Country, 
and the Cuftoms and Manners of the 
Lihabitants. He arrived at Bofton in 
Oftober, 1768, having been abfent on 
this Expedition two Years and five 
Months, and during that Time traveled 
near fevcn thoufand Miles. As foon as 
he had properly digelled his Journal and 
Charts, he went to England to publifli 
them. On his Arrival, he prclcnted a 
Petidon to his Majei1;y in Council for a 
Reimburfement of the Sums which he had 
expended in the Service of Government. 
This was referred to the Lords Com- 
mifhoners of Trade and Plantations, by 
whom he was examined in regard to his 
Difcoveries. Having obtained Permif- 
fion to publifh his Papers, he difpofcd 
of them to a Bookfeller. When they 



were almofl ready for Prefs, an Order 
was ifTued from the Council Board, re- 
quiring him to dcli\'er into the Plantation 
Office all his Charts and Journals, with 
every Paper relating to the Difcoveries 
which he had made. In order to obey 
this Command he was obliged to pur- 
chafe them from the Bookfeller. It was 
not until ten Years after, that he pub- 
lifhed an Account of his Travels. Being 
difappointed in his Hopes of Preferment, 
he became Clerk of the Lottery. As he 
fold his Name to a Hiftorical Compila- 
tion, which was publiflied in 1779, in 
Folio, endtled. The New Univerfal 
Traveler, containing an Account of all 
the Empires, Kingdoms and States in

48 Years. Captain Carver publifhed a
